The Golden Egg is a women-run, locally owned store that buys miscellaneous gold, silver, platinum, dental gold, silverware, and gold and silver coins. One of their policies is that you will never feel pressured to sell anything that you are not ready to sell.

Kona’s first specialized gold buying store has become a Market Place Ministry to help people financially, emotionally, and spiritually. There can be negativity attached to jewelry. The Gold Sistahs help their guests cleanse, refresh, and have new beginnings. For male guests, they have a ritual where the man crunches his previous wedding ring with a channel-lock wrench. It is very freeing!

The business name “Golden Egg” came from a children’s storybook. “Cash Assets” was added to avoid being mistaken for a Chinese restaurant.

Michelle and her best friend, Ceri “Tacderan” Copeland, are fondly known as “The Gold Sistahs.” (The nickname was coined by Michelle’s son after listening to a song.)

Ceri was a favorite substitute teacher in Hawai‘i Island public schools for 15 years. Now she is the manager of the Golden Egg and organizes fundraising events that the Gold Sistahs are very proud of. To date, $12,000 has been donated to a variety of charities.

Michelle is a fourth generation born and raised on Hawai‘i Island. She has an AA degree in fashion design and worked the fashion industry in Honolulu for 10 years before moving to Maui for 13 years to open restaurants and raise her children. In 2002, she moved near her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Sakata. This year she will be launching her own lounge-wear line.

The Golden Egg has a boutique selection of fine jewelry sold at wholesale prices. Their full-gold buying services includes a Customer Wish List and gem removal or purchase.

Their own brand of Kona coffee, “Gold Sistah’s 24K Kona Coffee,” has become known for its “pretty bubbles” and perfect medium-dark flavor. With Kona Coffee Queen 1977, Michelle “Sakata” Johnson in the house, they only serve the best coffee.

Visit the Gold Sistahs. Relax while they evaluate your unwanted precious metals at no cost. They are friendly, upfront, honest, and generous. And ask them about hosting a Gold Party.
